In Loving Memory of "TinkerBell" , one of Spanky's daughters.
She was my "Heart Dog' , who started my interest in breeding these little dogs.
Her mighty spirit and wonderful disposition will live on in our future breeders.
Specializing In
Tiny Tots (2-5 pounds full grown)
&
Toy Rat Terriers (5 to 10 pounds full grown)
Colors:
Tri Color, Blues, Chocolates, Black/Tan, Black/White, Tan/White, Sable, Pearl,
Pearl Fawn, Fawn and Sable and more.
Meadow Springs Kennel is located in the heart of Central Texas.
We live on a ranch and raise commercial cattle, but raising Rat Terriers is my business and love.
I bought my first Rat Terrier in 1996, and have been hooked on these wonderful little dogs ever since.
They are hearty and active, but love to cuddle and be loved.
They fit any life style, and are great with small children and other pets if treated kindly. They are very loyal and devoted, and love to please.
My tiny tots are 5 pounds and under and full of love and life.
They can do agility training and are well suited to therapy work.
They are tough with a big dog attitude, but gentle, and good with children.
With a short coat and a usually bare belly that loves to be rubbed they are hypoallergenic, naturally clean and easy to care for. The smallest ones can not only walk by your side, they can be carried in your pocket or special carrying bag.
Fleas and ticks are not a problem as their skin can be seen easily seen.
Extremely devoted companions, these dogs are happy go lucky and generally long lived.

I Raise Tiny Tots & Toys
They range from under 5 pounds to 10 pounds, depending on which size you want.
All of my puppies are hand raised, and trained to a crate.
They are whelped in large crates in my house, and then go to playpens until old enough to play outside. But every night they sleep in crates, and are handled many times each day.
My grandchildren love playing with them, so all the puppies are very well socialized and healthy.
I dock the tails, remove the dewclaws, and all shots are current and up to date.

My pledge as a breeder and the
Southwest District Vice President of the NRTA,
is to abide by the code of ethics set by the National Rat Terrier Association.
I guarantee and stand behind all the dogs that I sell, and will be happy to furnish references of people who have purchased one of my puppies.
My goal as a breeder is to raise the best and healthiest puppies possible.
I strive to bring pleasure and happiness to all who purchase a puppy from me.
I will ship from Austin, Texas to anywhere in the United States. This is assuming that there are no unusual hardships or delays in picking up the puppy. The puppy's well being is my first concern. I am a "Known Shipper" to Continental Airways and they know my exacting standards for how they handle my puppies. I am one of their registered shippers. They treat my dogs very well. Please see my shipping page for more info. I will be happy to furnish current pictures and prices of any dogs that I have for sale, and make sure I do not misrepresent my puppies in any way. Feel free to call or email me with any questions that you might have. I will be happy to "talk dogs" with you anytime, even if you do not buy a puppy from me. And if I do not have what you are looking for, I will be happy to refer you to someone that does.
I also recommend that anyone buying from any breeder should first do a breeder history & follow up by checking out their references.
Thank you for your interest and time, Marion.

Meadow Springs Kennel Sales Agreement
and Condition of Sale
and Condition of Sale
Marion Shiller of Meadowsprings Kennel, hereafter referred to as the
Seller, and the new owner of the puppy, hereafter referred to as the
Buyer, do hereby enter into the following agreement:
This dog is guaranteed to be in good health at the time of this sale to
the best of the Seller?s knowledge. The dog has had inoculations
against canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, Para influenza and
parvovirus vaccine. If travel on an airline is required the dog will be
examined by a licensed veterinarian and will be cleared for travel.
Replacement Guarantee:
The Buyer has a health guarantee extending to 5 working days from the
date of purchase in which they must have the dog examined by a licensed
veterinarian. This is for confirmation of the health of the animal and
the Buyer is urged to do so.
If the veterinarian finds anything seriously wrong with the dog the dog
will be exchanged for another dog of equal or greater value when
available, providing that a letter from the examining veterinarian is
offered as evidence of the dog?s illness. The dog must be returned
within the guaranteed period pursuant to the terms and conditions
contained herein. Parasites (demodex) and worms are not covered by this
agreement.
The Seller assumes no responsibility for the dog after leaving the
Seller's premises including, but not limited to, medical expenses,
temperament, mortality, landlord?s approval, allergy to animals,
disagreements of family or any other reason. It is further understood
and agreed that no warranties or representation of any nature or sort
have been made with respect to the sold animal except those contained
in this agreement. However, rest assured that I stand behind my
puppies. My reputation is based on your satisfaction and healthy well
bred dogs.
The Buyer has been advised that a puppy should not be taken around
other animals that have not been protected against the normal diseases
until the puppy has competed the third series of puppy vaccinations and
been advised by their own veterinarian.
The Buyer has been advised of the importance of making sure that the
puppy does not stop eating or drinking. If this situation should occur
the Buyer has been advised to seek the advice of a licensed
veterinarian. The Buyer has been further informed that hypoglycemia
(low blood sugar) and/or dehydration can occur rapidly in Tiny Tots and
small toy puppies.
The Seller has explained to the Buyer the critical issue of maintaining
watch over the puppy to be certain that it is ingesting proper food and
water amounts. Further, the Buyer has been advised to contact the
Seller if there seems to be a problem with the puppy or if the Buyer
has concerns about the puppy?s health.
The Buyer has been informed that the Seller is not a licensed
veterinarian and that immediate veterinary medical advice should be
sought first if critical health issues arise during the time period
covered by this agreement. The Buyer should only contact the Seller
after the emergency medical situation has been dealt with by a licensed
veterinarian. Any failure of the Buyer to seek proper medical care for
the puppy shall render the contract null and void and the Seller free
from replacement and blame.
All puppies are sold as pet and companion quality only. There is no
guarantee that the dog will be show quality or suitable for breeding
when it reaches maturity.
The Buyer must read and agree to the following upon receipt of the dog.
I/we have examined this dog and found it to be sound and healthy and am
totally pleased and satisfied. I/we also accept and will adhere to the
recommendation to feed the dog high quality food and vitamins all of
its life. I have been advised to feed the food in proper amounts to
avoid poor health or obesity. I/we agree to keep worming and
inoculations or titers current as advised by my/our personal
veterinarian. I/we will adhere to the advice given on training the pup
so that it will develop a good nature and not have the ?spoiled? nature
of an untrained dog.
One Year Guarantee Against Patellar Luxation.
I/we have been advised to refrain from raising a puppy on slippery
surfaces, allowing free-run of stairs and jumping. I/we understand that
these factors can lead to negative conditions at an early age before
bone growth is complete at adulthood. If I/we go against this advice
the guarantee is null and void.
If Patellar Luxation does occur, a stipulation of this guarantee
requires that the dog be seen by a licensed veterinarian. The
veterinarian must evaluate and document the exact condition and outcome
of the dog. The Seller must receive this written statement from the
veterinarian along with the original signed guarantee and registration
paper before the Buyer receives a replacement puppy of equal or better
quality. The Seller has the right to get a second opinion to verify the
condition of the dog. This guarantee applies to only the dog purchased
and is not transferable.
In no event shall the Seller be responsible to refund the purchase
price to the Buyer. The extent of the Seller?s liability shall be to
replace the animal in question with one of equal or greater value. No
replacement will be given if the dog has been spayed or neutered. The
Buyer is responsible for all medical and transportation costs.
I/we have read, understand and agree to the terms and conditions
contained herein:
